Self-identification: The host computer can detect the current configuration of the system.
For instance, in Germany, mothers' identification with the host country and fathers' identification with the home country positively affects school achievements of second-generation children (Schüller 2015).
It supports what Constant et al. (2013) found, that residential ethnic clustering strengthens immigrants' identification with the origin and weakens identification with the host society, using data from Germany.
Identification of the host or viral factors that enhance HIV infection is critical for preventing sexual transmission of HIV.
Accordingly, naturalisation might be related to identification with the host society and regarded as a proxy for integration (Bevelander and Pendakur 2012; Bevelander and Veenman 2008).
Assimilation (A) is a strong identification with the host culture and society coupled with a firm conformity to its norms, values, and codes of conduct, and a weak identification with ancestry.
Based on this analysis we have constructed measures for the individual degree of ethnic persistence, indicating the commitment to the country of origin, and of assimilation, reflecting the commitment to and identification with the host country.
In this paper, the effects of gender, source country, religion, age at arrival, education level and experience in the source country on the immigrant's ethnic identification in the host country are explained.
Citizenship also protects from deportation, and thus may provide immigrants with a basic feeling of safety, which in turn could make them more confident in developing feelings of attachment to and identification with the host community.
A higher value on the scale for ethnic persistence indicates that an individual is more strongly committed to and identifies with the country of origin and a higher value on the scale for assimilation indicates stronger identification with the host country.
His empirical evidence shows that in Germany, mothers' identification with the host country positively affects children's academic progress as they take care of their scholastic performance, which is made possible by their knowledge of the language and of the German schooling system.
